SOCIAL AND RECREATIONAL PROGRAMS

SAIL is a social and recreational program designed for young adults (age 21+) with disabilities who are seeking opportunities to engage in social programs, make new friends, and just have fun. SAIL is designed for individuals who can function independently when out in the community and in social settings, including the use of virtual platforms.

SAIL offers a variety of virtual and in-person activities. Virtual activities include games and discussion. In-person activities can include community group trips such as bowling, movies, plays, sporting events, parks, picnics, and dining out at restaurants. The places we go are endless. SAIL members can also just hang out at our community building, where they enjoy playing games, watching movies, having potluck dinners, or singing along with karaoke.

SAIL participants are involved with the selection and planning of activities, so that programs are geared towards their interests. Participants can choose which activities they want to attend from a monthly calendar. There is a yearly registration fee to participate, with additional event fees for most activities. All activities are professionally facilitated.

SOAR offers fun social and recreational activities for adults who require more support in a group setting. SOAR events are led by a professional staff member, along with numerous volunteers who have been trained to work with adults with developmental disabilities. The staffing ratio for all events is approximately 1:3, ensuring that each participant gets the attention they need to fully enjoy the activity. Activities are held monthly, generally on Sunday afternoons.
